I’m from the Russian city of Voronezh, about 300 miles from Moscow. I work as a Translator and Language Tutor, and currently doing a master's degree in Advertising and PR. I love travelling, meeting new people, learning about world history, culture, and cuisine.

In my free time I enjoy longboarding, dancing, listening to the music and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider myself an outgoing and happy-go-lucky type of person who enjoys meeting people from all walks of life, exploring new places and living in the moment. The Couchsurfing ethos perfectly complements my aspirations as a linguist; there’s no better way of discovering a culture than by getting to know its people.
